GOP must focus on debt

In supporting its tea party members, the GOP made a tactical mistake taking on the Affordable Care Act.

The critical issue is the nation's debt. We all know that the health-care system in this country has long needed some changes. The GOP should have openly pledged to work with the Democrats to fix it and focused on the critical national debt issue.

One can only hope Democrats will work with Republicans to fix what's wrong with the Affordable Care Act and stand up and assist Republicans in taking on the debt and difficult "third rail" entitlement issues. If not, another fiscal crisis looms on the horizon.
